A comparative research work was undertaken on 'Asia's Third Sector: Governance for Accountability and Performance' with the involvement of at least two dozen researchers in six participating countries. It resulted in a book (Comparative Third Sector Governance in Asia, Springer, 2008) comprising eleven comparative chapters, and six country chapters. This is a two-part discussion of the Guide and the research methodology. Part 2 of the discussion, 'A Comparative Research on Third Sector Governance in Asia (Part 2): The Organizational Survey Protocol' (available on SSRN) discusses the organizational data collection protocol. This piece (Part 1), discusses the literature search, content analyses, and the survey of 'legal experts' and 'key informants'. It is divided in six sections: Project overview and context; Research Design; Research Practicalities; Method in Action; Practical Lessons Learned; and Conclusions. The 'protocol' is added in the discussion so any interested researcher may use it to create new knowledge about governance of the third sector organizations in any other country to compare it to the original analyses as available in the book (Samiul Hasan and Jenny Onyx, eds. Comparative Third Sector Governance in Asia, Springer, 2008).

This panel with four presentations report the outcomes of a major comparative research work complied in the Comparative Third Sector Governance. This first of its kind work is an overview of third sector organization (TSO) governance in Asia, especially in the six participating countries (China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam). The work is based on the responses of 184 'key informants', and organizational data from 492 TSOs of varied sizes, staff status, and geographical locations (working in eight different fields of activity). The work is about the third sector governance, democratic governance, in particular; but in all country, among all different type of respondents, as well as domestic and local sponsors “democracy is about outcome, and not process”. The foreign funding agencies in our participating countries do not care about who runs the organizations or how; only thing they care about is what the TSOs do. Thus, they see democracy not as a process (process equity), rather as an outcome (benefit equity). The discussion, in the later part of this presentation, brings in John Rawls. To Rawls 'process equity' relates to 'liberal people' or state with a basic structure of constitutional regime that respects certain familiar basic rights and liberties equally for all its citizens, gives the protection of these rights and liberties priority over the claims of the social good, and assures all citizens' access to the primary goods needed to make productive use of these freedoms. On the other hand, the 'outcome equity' relates to Rawls' other category 'people', the 'decent peoples' or state that hold a “common good conception of justice” in which each person's interests are taken into account in public decisions, and basic human rights are secured for all; all persons are treated as subjects of legal rights and duties; and judges and other officials accept and apply the 'common good' conception of justice in carrying out their public responsibilities (Beitz, 2000). Democracy is about outcome, not process; and good third sector governance is about results, irrespective. What is your position or experience in this debate?

Abstract: A comparative research work was on 'Asia's Third Sector: Governance for Accountability and Performance' with the involvement of at least two dozen researchers in six participating countries. It resulted in a book (Comparative Third Sector Governance in Asia, Springer, 2008) comprising eleven comparative chapters, and six country chapters. A comprehensive guide was prepared for the research partners. This is a two-part discussion of the Guide and the research methodology. The first part of the method ('A Comparative Research on Third Sector Governance in Asia (Part 1): Its Qualitative Research Method', available on SSRN) discusses the literature search, content analyses, and the survey of 'legal experts' and 'key informants'. That part also includes a project overview and context; research practicalities; and practical lessons learned. This part, highlights the organizational data collection protocol. The 'protocol' is added at the end of this note so any interested researcher may use it to create new knowledge about the governance of the third sector organizations in any other country to compare it to the original analyses as available in the book (Samiul Hasan and Jenny Onyx, eds.

This volume investigates how much governmental control is needed to reign in corporate and business greed and to make business "socially responsible" in Asia. It also questions whether business entities need to be reigned in by the government itself, or if other social, religious, or economic dynamics shape business entities in Asia. Moreover, it looks at how the Asian third sector influences BSR/CSR activities.

Civil society organizations, nonprofits, national and international nongovernmental organizations, and a variety of formal and informal associations have coalesced into a world political force. Though the components of this so-called third sector vary by country, their cumulative effects play an ever-greater role in global affairs. Looking at relief and welfare organizations, innovation organizations, social networks, and many other kinds of groups, Meghan Elizabeth Kallman and Terry Nichols Clark explore the functions, impacts, and composition of the nonprofit sector in six key countries. Chinese organizations, for example, follow the predominantly Asian model of government funding that links their mission to national political goals. Western groups, by contrast, often explicitly challenge government objectives, and even gain relevance and cache by doing so. In addition, Kallman and Clark examine groups in real-world contexts, providing a wealth of political-historical background, in-depth consideration of interactions with state institutions, region-by-region comparisons, and suggestions for how groups can borrow policy options across systems. Insightful and forward-seeing, The Third Sector provides a rare international view of organizations and agendas driving change in today's international affairs.

An increasing proportion of the world's poor is dependent on NGOs for the support the state cannot or will not provide, but little has been written to analyze or guide best management practice, which is so critical to their success. Managing for Change addresses the key operational issues facing NGO managers, drawing lessons from the reality of southern NGOs. It explores areas such as the formation of strategy, effective NGO leadership, the handling of donor relations, staff motivation and development, and the management styles most appropriate to crises and change.

To stay ahead of the competition, the public sector has to ensure an effective talent management strategy to attract, develop and retain talents. Effective talent management is about aligning the organisation’s approach to talent with the strategic aims and purpose of the organisation. This book adopts a comparative country analysis, which takes into account the institutional emphasis, organisational configuration and unique characteristics of the public sector. Against the backdrop of three major stages of administrative development, i.e., the colonial, postcolonial and modern periods, this book unpacks how the talent schemes have been shaped by the reforms, experiences, cross-country knowledge transfers and evolved over time responding to globalisation and digitalisation in Southeast Asia. This book will be of great interest to scholars and public managers working on public administration and civil service reforms in Asia towards developing a contextualised understanding of talent management and leadership development in the region.

The Nonprofit Sector in Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia (EERCA), edited by David Horton Smith, Alisa V. Moldavanova, and Svitlana Krasynska, uniquely provides a research overview of the nonprofit sector and nonprofit organizations in eleven former Soviet republics, with each central chapter written by local experts. Such chapters, with our editorial introductions, present up-to-date versions of works previously published in EERCA native languages. With a Foreword by Susan Rose-Ackerman (Yale University), introductory and concluding chapters also explain the editors’ theoretical approach, setting the whole volume in several, relevant, larger intellectual contexts, and summarize briefly the gist of the book. The many post-Soviet countries show much variety in their current situation, ranging from democratic to totalitarian regimes.

This book explores trust in government from a variety of perspectives in the Asian region. The book is divided into three parts, and there are seven Asian countries that have been covered by ten chapters. The first part contains three chapters which focus on two East Asian governments – Hong Kong and Taiwan. The second part includes case studies from two Southeast Asian countries – Thailand and Philippines. The third part consists of four chapters dealing with two South Asian countries – India and Bangladesh. The last chapter analyzes governance failure (i.e., the absence of trust) as uncertainty from a theoretical perspective.
